Cream Cheese Sausage Pinwheels
Ingredients
  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary components.
2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the sausage until it reaches a browned, crumbly state. This should take around 10 minutes; then drain the excess fat.
3
Unroll a single package of crescent dough on a flat surface and merge any perforations to form an uninterrupted sheet.
4
Apply half of the cream cheese to the dough, ensuring a 1/2-inch border on each edge remains intact.
5
Sprinkle half of the cooked sausage evenly over the cream cheese layer.
6
Using a long edge as a starting point, roll the dough into a compact log shape; wrap it in plastic film or parchment paper. Repeat this process to create and wrap a second roll.
7
Place the rolls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, allowing them to firm up.
8
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and unwrap them. Cut each roll into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange on a baking sheet.
9
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until they achieve a golden brown color, taking 10 to 15 minutes.
